Description
When using `score_bazel_tools_python` 0.1.3 (which references `rules_python` 1.4.1) in a repository that specifices a version of `rules_python` >= 1.8.0, this breaks. Due to dependency resolution following "Minimal Version Selection", the newer `rules_python` version is taken.
That is also the case if a recent `score_docs_as_code` (>=3.0.0) is referenced, as this itself references `rules_python` 1.8.3:
https://github.com/eclipse-score/docs-as-code/blob/main/MODULE.bazel#L22
**The support of python 3.8 was dropped in rules_python 1.8.0, leading to the failure**
https://rules-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#v1-8-0
I guess that's valid since python 3.8 support from the python core team was stopped in October 2024.
In `score_bazel_tools_python` there is the implicit assumption that python 3.8 support from `rules_python` exists.
Either that should be removed or reworked.
